There aren't many owners who would contemplate opening
themselves up to ridicule. Even they are smarter than you.

Then why are you still here?


Because: there weren't very many owners of the
new 26M, and I thought I might get some further substantive information
from this group, which is larger than the Mac group. I'm remaining on
the ng because it's become increasingly obvious that many on this ng
have become opinionated, set in their ways and rigid in their views, and
because the ng needs some new insights and some contributors who are
willing to state and defend some differing points of view.

Jimbo, did you ask your silly questions on the Mac list, like I

suggested?

SV


Yes. The great majority on the Mac lists have one of the the older
models. I did correspond with and speak with some 26M owners.

In other words, whether or not I'm telling the truth or devending
posting a valid thesis, most owners on this ng wouldn't want to risk
alientating the others by agreeing with me. Is this the logical
conclusion from your comments, Johathan? Most contributor to this ng
would prefer to "go along to get along"?

MacBoy,

What I'm saying is that "there aren't many owners of Macs
that would open themselves up to the kind of ridicule that
you've done. Even they are smarter than you, because they've
figured out Macs are crap and don't wish to embarrass themselves
any further in public.

So MacBoy.. when are you going to prove you didn't buy your
boat prior to posting about buying it?

What form of "proof" would satisfy you, Johnny? I don't think my dealer
would appreciate my posting a copy of the order form, but perhaps some
other form of evidence would do the same thing.

Whatever you think appropriate. I'm sure we'll all have a comment.

But what do you suggest?

Jim

I suggest a bill of sale. But, you're unwilling, apparently.

I don't feel the need to knock your choice of boat. I may not agree with
it, but I suspect that you will enjoy it.

Don't worry about how *most* contributers feel. They won't be sailing the
boat - You will.

Exactly. I know several people who drive junker cars. I have
no problem with that. I would have a problem if one of them
claimed it handled better than my SVX.

Ah, the rich sailor. God I hate rich sailors. I mean the Mac is a piece of
****, I agree, but rich people suck worse than cable steering and a 50 hp power
motor strapped on the back of a milk carton boat.
